Nicki Minaj – “Anaconda” Video (Feat. Drake)

Nicki Minaj’s “Baby Got Back”-sampling new single “Anaconda” now has a provocative video to go with it. Alternating between a jungle and rave girl theme, Minaj makes it clear she’s queen of both realms. Featuring a healthy amount of twerking, some bananas spinning around on a turntable, and — in what’s becoming the norm for pop videos — some heavy Beats product placement, it’s a video you won’t forget anytime soon. Drake even shows up towards the end and Minaj shows him her moves. Watch below.

Nicki Minaj’s The Pink Print still doesn’t have a release date, but it’s expected later this year.

You have to give this video credit for giving ejaculation simulations (i.e. the coconut milk, and later the whipped cream on Nicki Minaj’s breasts) more screentime than the Beats by Dre product placement. I jerked off and bought headphones, in that order, and have no regrets.

I’m having trouble figuring out why this song even exists. It borrows too heavily from Baby Got Back to be a strong pop song in its own right, and Nicki’s bars aren’t good enough for it to be a compelling modern update of Baby Got Back, either. Basically there is no scenario I can imagine in which I wouldn’t rather listen to Sir Mix-a-Lot. It feels more like a novelty track than something trying to be a pop hit.
